Qube classes
------------
Do not use if you don't know, what you are doing.
Qube class (or type) specify basic features of it, mostly what data persists
across reboots and what properties qube have.
.. option:: --no-root
AppVM
^^^^^
Do not create :file:`root.img`. This option is mutually exclusive with
:option:`--root-copy-from` and :option:`--root-move-from`.
Default qube class, for template-based qubes. In this type, root volume is used
from its template and changes made to it are discarded at qube restart. Changes
in qube's private volume are persistent.
StandaloneVM
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This qube class have both root and private volumes persistent. This qube type
does not have template property.
TemplateVM
^^^^^^^^^^
A qube that can be used as a template for `AppVM`. Otherwise very similar to
`StandaloneVM`.
DispVM
^^^^^^
A disposable qube - no data persists across qube restarts. It must have template
set to an `AppVM` instance that have `dispvm_allowed` property set to true (see
:manpage:`qvm-prefs(1)`).
